Worthy of a future king
Audi R8 “Star of Lucis”

After a ten-year development cycle beginning as a Playstation 3 exclusive title, and surviving two console generations, two different directors and a title change, the long-awaited Final Fantasy XV will finally see release on November 29th. As part of its marketing plan, creator Square Enix released a CG rendered movie – Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV in July, which served as an advanced trailer of the video game, and featured a special version of the 2017 Audi R8 called the “Star of Lucis”.

Now Audi Japan has announced it will bring this stunning supercar from the anime world into reality. The “Star of Lucis” R8 is a one-off version, worthy of a future king. Presented in the Lucis’ colour of nobility – black, with Arabesque-patterned detailing on the side blades, air intakes, wing mirrors, and rear wing. The wheels incorporate a rose petal pattern interwoven with elements inspired by the royal sword central to the story. Priced at ¥50,000,015 JPY (approx. $3,600,000 HKD), Audi Japan will raffle off the “Star of Lucis” R8 to a lucky purchaser on November 21st.
